Somerset Nuclear Power Plant was proposed by New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG, a subsidiary of Energy East) in 1974 as two GE 1,200 MW units, but the project was canceled in 1975.[1][2]
In 1975, NYSEG announced it was changing its construction plans because a geologic fault had been found 40 miles away.[3] A 650 MW coal plant was built at a nearby site and went into service in 1984.[4][5]
